Porthtowan is a beautiful, laid back, blue flag beach and village, known for its surfing and fantastic walks within minutes of our stufio. The village and beach is a 10 minute walk down the cliff from us, and you'll find two great bars/eateries and a fab cafe in the village. St Agnes is about 3 miles away and has further beaches, bars, shops and restaurants.
Our studio is newly decorated and the shower room is also new; it's a lovely, comfortable space for a relaxing beach holiday.

Porthtowan is perfectly located for exploring and adventures. A laid back surfing village with 2 great bars/eateries, a beautiful blue flag beach and right on the south west coastal path. Centrally located in the county and 5 minutes drive from the A30, it's the perfect base for exploring Cornwall.

Absolutely LOVED our stay here. Beautiful place to stay with an amazing view and lovely walk to the beach. Also loved the bar down on the beach. We would recommend this to anyone! Charlotte was so friendly and helped us out with everything we needed!

Bryony2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Great little place next close to the very nice Porthowan beach and some great cliffside walks.

We had a great, relaxing stay in the studio. Charlotte and Rob gave us a warm welcome and we were pleasantly surprised to find milk in the fridge, lovely biscuits and apples. The studio has everything you need and is finished to a very high standard. Porthtowan is a great place to be, especially for a relaxing break

Rebecca2017-07-19T00:00:00Z

This studio was so clean and so cute. I really enjoyed my stay and would recomend to any one. Lovely people also.

Marnie2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

The area is gorgeous , lovely views with a great beach and bar only a few minutes away from the home , they are both down a very steep hill but this was not a problem for me! Really great location for getting to see Cornwall as it is near a lot of beautiful locations and areas with lots to do , be aware that a car is most likely necessary whilst in Cornwall. The home itself was small but very well kept and looked lovely , shower was of a good quality as we're all the facilities in the studio. Perfect little place to go home to , get some rest and then go out to see Cornwall again the next day ! Charlotte was a great host , only spoke to her a couple of times but she was friendly ,polite and providing everything we needed during our stay

Sean2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

Ideal for a little family , beautifully decorated and very clean. The beaches are great for swimming , lovely coffee bars at Porthtowan and St Agnes . Charlotte was really helpful and not instrusive , would recommend.

Sarah2017-07-31T00:00:00Z

Great place, extremely well located for surfing or just relaxing on the beach. Easy reach of St Agnes, Polzeath, St Ives, Lands End, Falmouth, and even Newquay etc. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to use as a base for the coast.

Carol2017-01-16T00:00:00Z

The location is perfect for exploring this part of Cornwall. The beach is beautiful and we particularly liked the Blue Bar for drinks and dinner. The house is comfortable and not having a full kitchen was not a problem for us- it worked well as we only had breakfast there and made a packed lunch to go out every day. We would definitely recommend Sonrisa's place.

Sonrisa is a fantastic host. Definitely recommend it. Loads of space for my little one to run around. thank you

Sanjaya2017-06-28T00:00:00Z

Tertia made us feel very welcome. Our room was beautiful and fresh and Tertia supplied the most amazing breakfast. The location is well worth visiting, Porthtowan is a hidden gem.

Graham 2017-06-01T00:00:00Z

This was a very welcoming household. We had everything we needed and Tertia went out of her way to accommodate us. The 'extra little touches' were very cute. And the Continental Breakfast was the best I have ever been offered.

Susan2017-07-01T00:00:00Z

After 15 airbnb experiences, my stay at Tertia's is in the top 3 of the best ever. People wrote it in other reviews and it's absolutely true: she goes above and beyond. All those little details that make the difference. The weather wasn't great, but my mum and I had a great time anyway. At the checkout we didn't want to leave! Ps. Their dog is very calm and cute. I'll be recommending her to anyone travelling to Cornwall. :) Si buscas una experiencia realmente chula en Cornualles, ¡ve a casa de Tertia!

Alicia2017-08-14T00:00:00Z

Spend there only one night, but if i am coming back to Porthtowan (which i find most beautiful seaside i have been in Cornwall), i certainly book Tertia`s accommodation. It was far better then i was expecting even for one night. Unexpected welcoming and better breakfast then 4* hotel. Do not hesitate and try Tetria`s

Peťko2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

Lovely stay with the best breakfast we have had in (EMAIL HIDDEN)fortable large room, perfect hostess and the house is only a short walk from the beach and wonderful sunsets! The only hick up for us would be the bathroom, as we are frequent shower users, and the space is very small, shared with the hosts and don't forget your bathrobe!

Irene2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

Tertia and Rowland are very welcoming. The home and the room are super cosy and I found it romantic to stay with my boyfriend. Tertia puts a lot of effort to make you feel comfortable e.g. by offering snacks and preparing a great varried breakfast. Everything is clean. Check-in and check-out were easy. The beach is 50m away and the cost offers great walks. The place is perfect to explore Cornwall from. We would definitly come back!

Franziska2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

Lovely relaxed home with a sea view all the way to St Ives. Room was very comfortable and Dominique and Ian were so welcoming. Very well positioned for St Agnes and most of the north Cornish coast. We wouldn't hesitate to go back to stay there. Highly recommended.

Richard2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

Beautifully situated house in the hills. The check in was straightforward. Only the last few meters were a bit tricky, but a call to Dominique helped us find the hotel. Dominique was very relaxed and friendly.

Johannes2016-07-07T00:00:00Z

Nature, Cliffs and amazing Airbnb experience we were hosted at Dominique and Ian's place for the last bank holiday of may 2017. They were amazing hosts, absolutely welcoming, warm and helpful. The house is located at the very front of the sea with stunning views to the green cliffs of Porthtowan, a lovely surfing village with a great atmosphere. The double room was spacious, clean and the bed was just amazing. They also run a surfing school, and have two lovely dogs which are superfriendly creatures :) The first morning, Ian took us to the breathtaking cliffs next to the house, and gave us amazing tips to discover the area. We had never been before to Cornwall and knew nothing about it: it doesn't disappoint! Definitely, when we return on a holiday we will go back to Dominique and Ian's place, maybe this time to learn some surf!!!

Rafael2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

A great room in a fab location! Really welcoming hosts who showed us some incredible local spots. 5minutes walk from Porthtowan beach which is one of my favourites, great spot for cliff-top walks and easy to get to other fab Cornish locations. Highly recommended, will definitely return when/if looking to stay in the area again!

bernice2016-07-21T00:00:00Z

Communication was easy, quick and exact. We experienced an open house with a family living a full life, so Dominique and her husband have often been absent, what left the winter garden and the nice little garden often enough for ourself. If not, we could freely choose to have contact or not, and both Dominique and her husband were open, friendly, helpful in many ways. They really know how to life with other people and how to handle it. Also friends or neigbours turned up und came just in, just saying hello, this describes the openess of the house. To watch from the winter garden the weather come and go in a sheltered way and to look down to a little bit sea was great, we can highly recommend the house and Dominique with her husband. The room had basic lay-out, big bed, bedside-tables, a cupboard with drawers, some coat hooks at the door, so you will probably not only stay in your room.

Harald2016-09-27T00:00:00Z

beautiful place, hosts Very friendly and helpful). We felt that the fantastic, thank You

The Living area has a wooden upright piano that you are welcome to use if you can play. One of the bedrooms has two single beds, one of which has a built in pull out bed so that room is suitable for up to three people. Plenty of room for any cots you wish to bring. Note that we now have new sofas (large corner sofas) which are far nicer than the ones in the photos.

The house is situated in a small hamlet of just 12 houses. We are five minutes drive from Porthtowan beach, and 10 minutes drive from St Agnes and Portreath beaches. We are right on the Portreath to Devoran coast to coast cycle route, and very close to the Bike Barn where you can hire bikes if you don't bring your own.

This is a great house and garden, and Lucy was a brilliant host. Although we never met her she was always contactable and very responsive - she organised a travel cot and high chair for our toddler no problem and was very helpful. The house itself is very spacious and very well equipped. The kitchen is high spec. The living areas are big and very pleasant. The master bedroom and en suite are enormous. The second double bedroom is big and comfy and the twin room is nice. The garden contains a built in bbq with lots of seating space and Lucy allows guests to pick fruit and veg from the lovely garden. Mawla is a tiny hamlet but close to the A30 and a number of nice beaches. Porthtowan nearby is a great 'local'. Chapel Porth nearby is really great. Perranporth, St Agnes, St Ives etc are near enough. Shopping was fine - we organised a Sainsburys delivery online and supplemented it with stuff from nearby farms shops. Nearby nightlife is not too exciting but that wasn't an issue for us. All in all, a perfect rental for what we needed.

Absolutely fabulous house with lots of space, toys, books everything you could need is there, there is a rocking horse, piano etc. Lots of bathrooms very comfy beds and a wonderful location not too far to anywhere we wanted to go! Our favourite place was Chapel Porth which wasn't far away at all and also perranporth was beautiful too, so many wonderful places to explore, wonderful farm shop close by and of course Cornish pasties!! The weather wasn't great but had the best time!

Harriet2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

We loved everything about Chynoweth. A great house with superb amenities, super location near Chapel Porth, Porthtowan and St Agnes. Our children loved the space, garden and cats! We would go back in an instant!

Jeremy2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

Beautiful house in a great location close to the A30 but in a lovely little quiet hamlet with character, close to great beaches and the fab coast to coast cycle track. Lucy was a great host providing all we needed and being in contact quickly. Decor and layout are really well designed and the garden on three levels is a treat.

kate2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

Great Location overlooking the beach at Porthtowan. ideal all year round for great family holidays. ideal for dog lovers, walkers, surfers, beach lovers, cyclists.

We never met Alan, and hadn't expected to, but he had made sure that everything was right for our stay. It is indeed as pictured, quite area in the most rugged and picturesque part of North Cornwall, with the sea view as shown. A very enjoyable stay!

Phil2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

We agree with all previous reviews. It's lovely just to be able to walk down with your bodyboard, or go hiking in the nearby nature reserve. Porthowan is not the most charming village of the region but there is a lovely enclosed and guarded beach, pubs and ice-cream on the beach, good surf shop and a grocery store. The people were all very friendly. The house is indeed exactly like the picture 's so no, there really is no fifth seat and the fifth bed is a pull-out which fits between the bed and the closet. The owners have helped us well with our maybe some more unusual questions such as where we could rent a piano, leaving a supply controller for Wii. We as a family enjoyed the existing DVD collection, especially Falwty Towers. The house is neat and well maintained, though it struggled to keep out moisture, which is perhaps not surprising for a house on top of a cliff overlooking the ocean. Our three teenage sons also appreciated the good wifi. We had a wonderful two weeks.

Kristien2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

Location location location. Love that it's up the hill, so plenty of exercise and close to the beach. Lovely views and can hear the sea at night with the window open. Quiet, clean - Previous reviews are spot on. Only downside is itn't suitable if you have mobility issues. Though 90% of houses in porthtowan wouldn't be suitable for mobility issues either as they are situated on the banks of a valley. We had no issues at all. enjoyed our stay immensely.

Alena2017-02-18T00:00:00Z

Great Xmas break at this well appointed terraced cottage. The towels and bedding were good quality and the the bed was comfy. We were delighted to be able to bring our dog with us - hard floors downstairs and carpets upstairs. There is only one storage heater for the whole property but there is an oil filled radiator which ensured we were warm throughout our stay in the middle of winter. We saw there was a good selection of dvd's, wii stuff, ipod dock etc together with a big tv. Good enclosed (albeit steep) back patio and garden - safe for pets and children. The area was quiet at night and you could hear the surf breaking on the beach - although we were quite a long way from the sea. The SW Coastal path rises up either side of the beach and just begs to be walked. Good access to Redruth and Truro and the rest of central Cornwall. Just two additional notes - there are over a dozen steep steps up to the property from the parking area and the 'path' down to the beach is a stony, overgrown track. There is an alternative route by road which goes around the back of the village though. Great communication from Alan (the owner) throughout.

jim2016-12-31T00:00:00Z

Nice house and location! very complete and very easy check in. Shower was a bit weak, but that had no influence in our stay. The location is awesome, it looks further than it is, 5 minutes to a very nice and cosy beach with a bar. Couches are very nice, the table a bit small, but if the weather is good, just eat outside! would recommend to all!

Max2017-05-27T00:00:00Z

This cottage is in a beautiful location and we throughly loved our time there. Communication was fast and easy with the hosts and I can unreservedly recommend this peppery if you are looking to get away from the maddening crowds and enjoy a beachy holiday. Easy walking distance to the beach and the Blue bar offers some decent grub and is the perfect spot to watch the sunset over Porthowan beach. Thank you.

Beech is one of 6 self-catering cottages in a rural setting, it's in a central location for visiting all of Cornwall. Only 2 miles from some great beaches, great pubs and restaurants, cliff top and woodland walks. Beech, once a hay barn is full of character with a modern interior, it's great for couples, families and is dog friendly as it has its own enclosed garden and there are some great walks on the doorstep.

Marc was a great host! Cottage is lovely and with a car easily accessible to all the places we wanted to go! Would definitely return! The cottage was like a home from home and super clean!

We stayed in the Beech Cottage for Easter and loved it. Marc, the host, welcomed us very friendly, showed us around and recommended a very nice local pub for dinner. He was flexible with arrival times and always contactable via e-mail or text. Located in a small village the holiday cottage is new and very nicely fitted, with one double and a twin bedroom downstairs. Ideal for families, couples or friends. The bathroom was very clean and towels/linens provides. Upstairs there is a very big and comfy dining/sitting room with TV and everything you need for a nice dinner with friends/family. For warmer days, there is a timber picnic table in the front garden and an additional sitting area to the rear of the house. Since it is a self-catering cottage you will have to fill the fridge when staying longer. There is a Tesco`s only 5 minutes away in Redruth. It`s an ideal base for exploring the South-West of Cornwall. Land`s End is only a 45 minutes’ drive away. We loved watching the sunset at Cape Cornwall! We would always come back for another stay.

Julia2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Lovely place to stay. Clean and comfortable. All essentials (towels, washing machine) provided and even a games room! The collection of seaside bits (bodyboards, buckets spades and frizbees) we appreciated very much by the children. Great location - easy access to A roads and a lovely farm shop down the road.

Jamie2017-04-11T00:00:00Z

Absolutely loved this cottage. Centrally located in Cornwall making it easier to visit the attractions around there. only 5-7 mins drive from several beaches. Marc is a great host, he dropped by to make sure everything was okay. The cottage itself is lovely. Very clean with comfy beds. The kitchen is well equipped for your catering needs. Everything was just perfect I couldn't find any faults. Will definitely stay here again!

Two Penwinnick Cottages is a stunning, recently renovated cottage that sits in the beautiful village of St. Agnes, Cornwall. The house is cosy, comfortable and comes with a fully-stocked fireplace; perfect for the cool-winded evenings after a hike or ocean dip. The outdoor decking space at the back is fantastic to watch the sunsets over the beacon and enjoy a chiminea heated BBQ.

Our place is in the epic village of St. Agnes, Cornwall, a place where you can feel your cares melt away. This stunning, modernly refurbished cottage is close to Trevaunance cove, a family friendly beach (swim, surf and warm sand) with nearby restaurants, pubs and local treats. Only a short distance away are three other famous North Coast Beaches, as well as the South West Coastal Path. Viewable from the house is Beacon hill.
The cottage can accommodate up to 4 people comfortable (up to two dogs also welcome), has a front driveway for one car to fit comfortably, and a decking area in the back. The patio area in the front is perfect for lazy breakfasts.
A 10 minute walk to St Agnes Village will offer you local grocers, a choice pubs, delicious restaurants, bistro, coffee bars and a highly regarded pizza takeaway.
The local Trevaunance Cove is a popular surfing beach with a surfing school, and coastal kayaking trips. It also has a lively pub, famous fish and chip shop and Beach Bar/Bistro.

Tucked into a stunning and unspoilt spot on the north Cornwall coast, St. Agnes sits in both a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a World Heritage Site.
Our little village has a thriving and creative local community which supports lots of independent shops and businesses. Add beautiful, dog-friendly beaches, world-class pubs and restaurants, and access to some of the county's most stunning coast path and walks, it's not hard to see why we're so proud of where we live.

Great cottage with everything you can need for your stay

Sophie2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

Absolutely gorgeous stay in Sarah and Ravi's cottage. It was stocked with absolutely everything we needed, was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. We couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Gilly2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

The Ravi and Sarah's cottages are still better than the photos, all very comfortable and plenty of space. We were a bit unlucky with the sun but when there was, the outdoor areas were warm and cozy. The kitchen is fabulous and well-equipped, the wood-burning stove warms up the environment. Comfortable bed and the whole house has new modern windows that isolate well. For those visiting St Agnes we recommend breakfast at The Sorting Office. Absolutely to see the coast from Chapel Port. Thanks Ravi and Sarah will definitely be back!

Ravi and Sarah's place is absolutely lovely - the ideal cosy holiday cottage. We had a fantastic week staying in St Agnes, which has everything you could possibly need: cosy pubs, nice restaurants, a bakery which makes great pasties, a supermarket, a fantastic pizza takeaway, and a really special beach just down the road. Ravi and Sarah made us feel really welcome, and left the place with every thing we possibly could have hoped for. We drove to St Ives one day, another picturesque town full of fun things to do, and another day ventured up the coast to Bedruthan Steps which, though a 40 minute drive, is without a doubt one of the most incredible beaches you'll find anywhere in the world! Thank you very much to Ravi and Sarah for making our holiday so memorable. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Jack2016-09-23T00:00:00Z

This well appointed property has a wonderful situation, located only 5 minutes from both the village and Porthtowans 'Blue flag' surfing beach. The stunning beach is a popular spot for surfers with some of the best waves in the UK, but also provides safe low tide swimming areas for families.
Just 2 minutes from the property you will find yourself on the South West Coast path, offering spectacular coastal scenery and miles of wonderful footpaths.
Shorter breaks will be considered! : )

The accommodation was very nice, clean, and in a good location. Annie kept us well informed prior and during our stay. We both had a fanstatic stay and would 100% return in the future.

Shilly Shally was the perfect place for our first visit to Cornwall in over ten years. More spacious then we were expecting and beautifully clean and well presented. Well equipped kitchen and a Cornish cream tea waiting for us! Communication was speedy and back up at the chalet on hand. It was a comfortable base to explore the fantastic cliff paths just yards away and the local village just down the hill with its brilliant surfing beach.

Fantastic little chalet - perfect for two. The location is fantastic, a nice sheltered spot 2-3 minutes away from the beach and small village where there is everything you need for a break by the sea including one of the best sunsets in Cornwall. Hosts were great - really engaging and the welcome/information pack was super useful. Great interior, great design touches whilst remaining functional especially including the log burner. Hopefully we'll be back again.

Tristan2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

Perfect beach getaway; the chalet has everything you could possibly need for a short or long stay. A 5 minute walk from the gorgeous beach and the cliffs, the place was comfy, private and spotlessly clean. Best b&b we have stayed in :)

Emilia2017-08-31T00:00:00Z

Such a cosy and lovely home in a great location which is close to the beach and super chilled and relaxing too...just what we needed. It was also a lovely surprise arriving to yummy scones, jam and clotted cream - thank you so much Dominic and Annie! And the jam as a gift to take home was such a lovely additional touch. We will definitely come back again!

Cath2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely, relaxing 3 night stay. The chalet is well equipped and has been stylishly decorated. Perfectly spacious enough for the two of us. It's within easy walking distance of the beach, shops, bars and coastal walks. We would recommend it.

Hannah2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

Situated on a compact culdesac of small properties, this is a very cosy, clean and well equipped chalet providing all you need with stylish fittings that are good quality. Particularly loved the little wood burner which had clear instructions for use and fuel provided. An ideal location for exploring Cornwall as it's easy to get to many places and yet is right on the coast only a few minutes walk from an excellent surfing/bodyboarding beach with fantastic waves. Also loved the spectacular walks from the coast path which is even closer than the beach. We would defintely love to return sometime.

This beachside house includes an open lounge with conservatory diner area, out onto a private back patio facing the sea, approx 50m from the beach.
There are 2 main double rooms with sea views, and a 3rd room with bunk beds. In private, quiet cove.

Friendly beachside community

Great cottage, super close to the sea. The back courtyard is a lovely suntrap in the afternoon. The room at the top is super pretty.Both double rooms are a fair size. There is a big kitchen, a lounge and a dining area so plenty of space downstairs. Do use the local village shop. It has wonderful bread delivered each day and if you are early it'll still be warm when you collect it. Actually for a small shop, it had a good selection of food. I would think about staying here next time I visit, if it's available.

ALETHEA2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

Andrews place is right next to the beach, with excellent parking spaces for one van and one 4x4, and SUCH comfy beds! I didn't want to leave the bed!! Kitchen fully equipped and comfy sofas too. Excellent value for a family surf weekend away! The place felt homey straight away, my dad commented on the bathroom being a bit rough around the edges, but I said that made it even homeyer! Will definitely be using again next time am in Cornwall

Rosie2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

Towan cottage is a very cosy, well equipped home which is a 2 minute walk to the beach. It has everything you need, comfy beds, hot shower and lovely log burner (much appreciated as we were not lucky with the weather!) The village is quiet but now a few of the seasonal shops are also starting to open! The surrounding beaches are amazing - we loved Perranporth and Godrevy beaches and St Ives, Truro and Padstow were lovely! We would definitely return!

I visited this weekend with my two daughters, and we fell in love with Andy's house and didn't want to leave. The pictures don't do it justice, it is really spacious and has everything you need. The wood burner is great to have there, and makes it really cosy. The kitchen has everything you might need to rustle up a meal, and the dishwasher was a bonus (dishwasher tabs and washing up stuff provided). It's not too clear from the listing but the house is on three floors - with one double, the bathroom and the bedroom with bunk beds on the first floor, and the master bedroom with ensuite toilet on the second floor. All the beds were really comfy, and everything was clean and welcoming. The local area is lovely - the beach is a stone's throw away and there is a choice of local eateries within walking distance. There is a kids playground nearby too. Highly recommend staying here - Andy is a great host and his house is fantastic.

Jennie2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

The home was as described- fab location and had everything you needed. Before the holiday I emailed Andrew about a query and his response was quick. Thanks Andrew.

Michelle2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

A great place to stay for our weekend away. Amazing location, we had a lovely morning walk on the beach and the Porthtowan Beach Cafe was really lovely. We all regretted not having breakfast there! The house suited our needs perfectly, comfortable, gorgeous log fire, and central within Cornwall for us to see the bits we wanted to see. Would definitely recommend!

Jantina2016-03-20T00:00:00Z

Great location,well kitted out house ,good parking. A real home away from home. Our 1 year old daughter has never slept so well !

Great host and cosy cottage in amazing location. We loved the little touches such as the free cupcakes on arrival, and tucked into yummy farmyard eggs in the morning. The grounds were incredible and we'll definitely be returning. A huge thank you to Joyce for making us feel so welcome. See you again soon.

Our family of 4 had a great stay at Charm's house. It is very spacious and extremely clean. It is located in a small village so a car is essential, but you are about a 5 minute drive to the nearest lovely beach. It is ideally located to reach any part of Cornwall you wish to visit. Charm and her family were very welcoming and we really felt at home all the time we were there. Highly recommended.

Hannah2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

It felt like home since the moment we arrived. It was a great location as the children could play at the back garden after a day playing at the sea! Thank you

Sharon2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

Elsey' s place was a perfect cosy spot to use as a base to explore the rest of cornwall. The house was lovely and everything from key pick-up to check out was easy. Walkable distance down to coves and good parking outside as well. Would recommend.

Porthtowan beach boasts some of the best surf in Cornwall with a fantastic sandy beach and facilities, including an excellent surf school. Occupying a dramatic valley location with one of the most spectacular and beautiful beaches of the Atlantic Coast, Porthtowan has been drawing visitors for years to take advantage of its natural sun trap. A superb location for a holiday to Cornwall with a fine beach and good access to main roads means that you can easily explore the surrounding area on days that are not conducive to sitting on the beach.
Porthtowan has one of Cornwall's finest surfing waves. Producing good waves at all states of the tide, the surf is particularly good in an easterly or south easterly wind direction when it produces some lovely hollow barrels. It is not for the faint hearted and beginners should be careful. An excellent surf school operates from the beach. At low tide the beach stretches down to St Agnes Head and Chapel Porth Beach where you will find a lovely National Trust Cafe full of warming hot chocolate and fabulous views.
From Porthtowan you are ideally located to reach the many beaches on the North Coast famous for attracting keen surfers and beginners alike.
Nearby, St Agnes, just to the east of Porthtowan on the North Cornwall coast was once a thriving mining community. Now it is a perfect base for those wishing to walk the North Cornwall Coastline, or for those interested in its copper and tin mining heritage. The village offers many restaurants, cafes and galleries as well as a free museum on the outskirts. St Agnes Beacon is a 328 foot climb, and on a fine day you can see from coast to coast - the view is spectacular and well worth the climb. Wheal Coates tin mine, near Chapel Porth is a prominent feature of the North Coast and is the beginning of a trail that continues past many other mining works down to Trevellas, the last tin production site in Cornwall.

Great apartment with small terrace, nicely furnished and with an amazing beach 20 yards away. Truly stunning location and at 7?am not a sole on the beach which is breathtaking . There is also a really nice bar with great staff serving great food right next door. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a chillled out place to relax and enjoy the the amazing vista

Sandra2016-05-26T00:00:00Z

Great base to explore Cornwall or have a restful break. Lovely walk along the coast to mine shafts and onto the quaint town of St Agnes.

Dean2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

We stayed at the house over New Year's weekend and we had a lovely time! The proximity to the beach was great although the path down is very rocky and steep. The house itself was perfect - plenty of room for the four of us (all adults) to hang out when the weather was bad and the surround sound system and speakers in the kitchen were fab!

Emily2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

Sea Otter is a good size comfortable home with a lovely view over Porthtowan's bay. We had three adults, two children and a dog staying and we all settled in well. The house had a secure fence which was good for letting our dog out, but they weren't high fences so if you have a 'jumper' you'd need to keep an eye on them. We walked down to the beach a few times, but my mum found the path down quite tricky to negotiate as it was rocky, definitely not for buggies, or those needing easy access. The walk down was about 10 minutes and once at the beach (through a small estate), it was lovely and there was a couple of cafe/bars on the beach and access to the village of Porthtowan which had a pub (The Unicorn), post office, fish & chip shop etc, so good for the essentials. The location was good for accessing Cornwall, we travelled all around during our stay. There was also another local pub called The Victory Inn, which was nice, the food looked good and it was only few minutes drive/or short walk from the house too. We had to contact Christine when we arrived as the heating wasn't on and it didn't seem to be heating up. She replied quickly and resolved the issue, once the house had warmed up it was lovely and cosy, a lovely place to come home to after a day out. We would definitely recommend a stay at Sea Otter.

Kim2017-02-18T00:00:00Z

We spent a few very sunny days in Porthtowan. The house is comfortable with amazing views. It was great being able to walk down to the beach and the cafes and shops there are great. The path down to the beach is quite steep and stoney which might be tricky for some with pushchairs etc. The only disappointment for us was that dogs are prohibited from the beach from Easter Sunday until September - so it meant a bit of extra planning and no sea swims for Boris :( A great place to stay in a lovely area and we would definitely come back (without Boris though)!
